Condition Report
Not examined out of the frame. Paper support appears to be laid down to secondary support. There appears to be a repaired tear to the top edge, extending around 3cm down from the centre. The edges all have a few minor nibbles and knocks. Perhaps very slightly faded, but otherwise in nice overall condition.
